Under the EU-UNDP collaborative global project, Advancing Health and Environmental Sustainability through Action on Air Pollution, a global initiative was launched to address pollution and its impact on public health. This project focuses on reducing air pollution and related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by strengthening multi-sectoral stakeholder governance at national and local levels. It ha...

GEMMES is a macroeconomic modelling tool that takes into account climate dynamics (mitigation and adaptation) and the scarcity of natural resources in its assessment of macroeconomic, social and financial risks. GEMMES makes it possible to test transition policies.ObjectivesProvide a quantitative representation of the macroeconomic impacts of ecological transitions in order to inform decision make...

MANAGE-WB is a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model developed by a network of CGE modelers to support World Bank teams and clients in conducting macroeconomic analyses across a broad range of topics. It is a single-country, open-economy CGE model featuring multiple sectors, institutions, and factors of production. This paper presents the model’s structure and implementation, including its gr...

The Envisage model is a global recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium model developed originally at the World Bank. Envisage has been developed to assess the interactions between economies and the global environment as affected by human-based emissions of greenhouse gases. At its core, Envisage is a relatively standard recursive dynamic multi-sector multi-region CGE model. It is compleme...

The GEM-E3 model (General Equilibrium Model - Economy, Energy, Environment) is a global multi-sectoral general equilibrium model. GEM-E3 covers the interactions between the economy, the energy system and the environment. The model is used to calculate macro-economic impacts such as GDP, welfare, consumption, trade, employment, sectoral output, and carbon price.It covers all EU Member States and th...

Use LEAP's optional Affordability Analysis features to examine the costs to consumers of different scenarios and how they compare to the incomes of those consumers (or the revenues of industrial consumers). The affordability of scenarios can be a good indicator of their achievability, and can also be important in helping to understand if pathways meet environmental social justice goals.To set up a...

This report reviews the literature on the distributional consequences of climate change and mitigation and transition pathways. The heterogeneous levels of exposure and vulnerability to climate change across countries, regions, households, and workers hint at the significant distributional costs of inaction. Climate policies will likely trigger a reallocation from “high-polluting” sectors to “gree...

Environmental challenges can take a significant toll on human health and well-being. When considering new policies to tackle these challenges, it is essential to evaluate both the benefits and costs  - monetising these when possible. For the past several decades, the OECD has supported policymakers in their design of regulations through structured analysis and cutting-edge data.Cost-benefit a...

This article considers the treatment of cobenefits in benefit-cost analysis of federal air quality regulations. Using a comprehensive data set on all major Clean Air Act rules issued by the Environmental Protection Agency over the period 1997–2019, authors show that (1) cobenefits make up a significant share of the monetized benefits; (2) among the categories of cobenefits, those associated with r...
